Through the application of precision agronomy, cassava producers can maximize the potential of the land and resources, increasing the growth rate and yield of cassava. Smart agriculture technology provides strong support for the implementation of precision agriculture. The application of advanced technologies such as remote sensing technology, big data analysis, and the Internet of Things allows cassava producers to monitor crop growth conditions, soil nutrient content, climate change and other information in real time, and adjust management measures in a timely manner based on these information. For example, through remote sensing technology, producers can detect the occurrence and spread of pests and diseases in time, and take effective measures to prevent and control them; Through big data analysis, producers can predict future weather changes and market demand based on historical data and current conditions, so as to make reasonable planting and sales plans. However, the application of precision agronomy and smart agriculture technology also faces some challenges and limitations. The introduction of these technologies requires a large amount of capital and human resources, which may be unbearable for some regions and farmers with poor economic conditions. The application of these technologies requires certain professional knowledge and skills, and requires systematic training and learning by producers. Due to the complexity and diversity of cassava production, how to effectively apply these technologies to actual production still needs further research and exploration. 6.3 Long-term impacts of environmental changes on cassava production In the context of global climate change, the long-term impact of environmental change on cassava production has gradually emerged, and has attracted wide attention. Cassava is a highly adaptable crop whose growth and yield are affected by a variety of environmental factors such as climate change, soil degradation and loss of biodiversity. Therefore, in-depth research on the long-term impact of environmental change on cassava production is of great significance for formulating adaptive planting strategies and ensuring sustainable development of cassava industry. The impact of climate change on cassava production cannot be ignored. As global temperatures rise and precipitation patterns change, the temperature and moisture conditions required for cassava growth will change. On the one hand, high temperature may reduce photosynthesis efficiency and enhance transpiration of cassava, thus affecting its growth rate and yield. On the other hand, changes in precipitation patterns may lead to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as droughts or floods, adversely affecting cassava growth. Soil degradation is also one of the important factors affecting cassava production. Unreasonable land use, such as excessive cultivation, fertilizer and pesticide abuse, may lead to soil organic matter content decline, structural damage and nutrient imbalance. These problems will not only reduce soil fertility and affect the normal growth and yield of cassava, but also may exacerbate environmental problems such as soil erosion and salinization. The loss of biodiversity has also had an impact on cassava production. Biodiversity provides cassava with rich genetic resources and ecological services such as pollination and pest control. However, with the interference of human activities and the destruction of ecological environment, many cassava related species and ecosystems are at risk of loss. This could lead to a reduction in cassava genetic resources, outbreaks of pests and diseases, and disruption of ecological balance, adversely affecting cassava production. 6.4 Role of socio-economic factors in cassava industry development As one of the world's important crop industries, the sustainable development of cassava industry not only depends on technological progress and environmental protection, but also closely related to social and economic factors. Socio-economic factors have played an indispensable and key role in promoting the development of cassava industry. Market demand is the direct driving force of cassava industry development. With population growth and economic development, the demand for cassava and its processed products is increasing. This demand comes not only from the food industry, but also from feed, biofuels and other industrial applications. The expansion of market demand has provided a broader development space for cassava producers and promoted innovation and upgrading of the cassava industry.
